You didn't read his example well enough. He said, "Say you have two segments connected to a router; one segment off of e0 and one segment off of e1. If a host on the e0 segment sends a frame to a host on the e1 segment and a collision occurs on the e1 segment before reaching the destination host, then I believe that the host on e0 is responsible for re-transmitting the frame, not the router/bridge."
If the e1 interface tries to send the frame and the frame experiences a collision, the e1 interface retransmits. This is assuming the e1 interface is configured for half duplex. This is called CSMA/CD. (If the interface is configured for full duplex and its frame experiences a collision, than there's a duplex mismatch, and you have a more serious problem.) Ethernet 101. That may be on the test too, you know.
